Pandora® Internet radio, HD Radio™, Bluetooth® and more

If you want to bring your car audio system into the 21st century, Alpine's IVE-W535 DVD receiver will do it with style. If you're an iPhone® user, you'll get touchscreen control of your music using the USB connection, plus Pandora® control — including thumbs up and down, song skip, and station search. You Android™ and BlackBerry users aren't left out either — you'll enjoy Pandora control through the receiver's Bluetooth connection. You can also stream music from your phone or another device over Bluetooth.

This Alpine also enables hands-free calling with your compatible phone, so you can concentrate on the road, not fumble for your phone to take a call. If you're a radio addict, you'll love the built-in HD Radio tuner that gives you crystal-clear AM/FM, plus station and song info from participating stations.

A receiver that remembers what you like

Alpine "Favorites" button on the IVE-W535 remembers your personal preferences and those of other users, too. "Favorites" lets you stash the features you access most frequently. For example, you could put in your favorite radio stations, a search for the closest Chinese buffet, favorite audio settings, or anything you want instant access to. Best of all, it's tied to your Bluetooth profile, so the receiver recognizes you when you've got your phone. And it's not limited to you — everybody who uses the car can create their own profile, so their Favorites are ready to go when they slide behind the wheel.

And that legendary Alpine sound, too

The IVE-W535 continues Alpine's tradition of great-sounding car receivers. Inside, a powerful amplifier pumps out more power than you'll find in most factory systems. And you can tailor the sound to your liking with a 9-band equalizer, as well as filters that send the proper frequencies to your speakers for cleaner sound. If you're looking to build a bigger system around the receiver, you'll find three sets of high-voltage preamp outputs for connecting external amplifiers.

Siri® Eyes Free for non-distracting operation

Got an iPhone with Siri? This receiver supports Siri Eyes Free, which means you can ask Siri to make calls, select and play music, compose and hear text messages, read notifications, even use maps and get directions — all commanded by your voice through your Alpine receiver, without any visual distractions from your Apple® device. You may need to download a firmware update from Alpine's website to enable Siri Eyes Free through your receiver.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Alpine stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the IVE-W535HD, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

DVD receivers: They're not just for movies

DVD receivers add a new level of entertainment to your vehicle. You can watch a movie on the screen when you're parked on a Saturday night, or play a DVD through your rear seat video setup on the road. Touchscreen receivers allow you to breeze through menus with the tip of your finger.

Time Correction: This unit is able to delay the audio signal
to the speakers closest to the listener with its built-in Time Correction
feature. This effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those
speakers. Time Correction allows the listener to be placed at an equal distance
between the left and right speakers for optimum staging. You can adjust the
distance (0-336.6cm) or time delay (0.0-9.9msec) of each speaker and subwoofer
to the listener.

Media Xpander Pro: Alpine's exclusive Media Xpander Pro is
engineered to bring out the musical details lost in compressed media, and it is
adjustable per source to get the most out of your digital audio media. The Media
Expander Pro makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music
source. The FM radio, CD, USB memory, iPhone/iPod, and Bluetooth Audio will be
able to reproduce the music more clearly even in vehicles with a lot of road
noise.

Source Volume Level: The output level (+/-14dB) of each
source can be individually adjusted. For example, if the Tuner level sounds
lower than CD, its output can be adjusted without affecting the other sources.

IMPRINT Sound Upgradeable: The IVE-W535HD is IMPRINT ready.
Simply add the Alpine IMPRINT
PXA-H800 audio processor (sold separately) and the Alpine
RUX-C800 controller (sold separately) for automatic sound tuning or powerful
manual tuning options. IMPRINT automatically measures the entire listening area,
capturing time domain and frequency response information from each listening
location to process and improve the sound at every seat in your vehicle. Precise
control and corrections yield enhanced sound so you can enjoy an optimal
listening experience. The IMPRINT audio processor allows you to customize your
crossover adjustments so you can control where you send your high and low
frequencies. It also provide detailed equalizer adjustments. The IVE-W535HD is
not compatible with the IMPRINT PXA-H100 processor.

Beep Guide: This function will give audible feedback with
varying tones depending upon the button pressed. The volume of this feature can
be set from 0-7.

A/V Connection

Audio/Video Input: The IVE-W535HD is fitted with one
rear-panel audio/video input which consists of a composite video jack and stereo
RCA jacks to connect an external AV source.

Audio/Video Output: Rear-panel stereo RCA jacks and a
composite video jack are provided for feeding an A/V signal to an optional video
monitor for rear seat entertainment. The rear zone signals are passed by RCA
composite video and stereo RCA preamp audio connections. The same audio/video
signal will be displayed on the unit's integrated monitor and the optional video
monitor. You can select the aspect ratio of any back seat monitor(s); choose
from 4:3 Letter Box, 4:3 Pan and Scan, 16:9 Widescreen.

Rear Camera Input: A proprietary rearview camera input on
the rear panel is designed for use with the Alpine HCE-C117D camera
(
500HCC117D, sold separately). A composite video input is also available so
the input can be used with almost any rearview camera (such as the
500HCEC115, sold separately). Or, you can use both camera inputs to connect
front- and rear-view cameras (front-view cameras include the 500HCEC212F, sold
separately). The IVE-W535HD is also compatible with Alpine's multi-view cameras
(such as the 500HCEC210, sold separately). With a multi-view camera connected,
you can select between a Rear, Panorama, Corner, or Ground view when backing up.
The rear-view camera function also provides three on-screen guidelines to assist
you when backing up your vehicle. If a rear-view camera is connected, you should
also connect the unit's reverse lead wire (Orange/white) to your vehicle's
back-up lamp circuit. When properly connected, the image from the rear-view
camera automatically appears on the monitor when the vehicle is shifted into
reverse. Automatic video switching takes approximately 0.7 seconds. Audio from
your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.

Remote Control

Optional Wireless Remote: The Alpine IVE-W535HD is
wireless remote control ready. Simply add on the Alpine RUE-4190 IR remote
(
500RUE4190, sold separately) to make it even easier to control the head
unit's basic tuner & disc functions.

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an
OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep
your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional
steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

ive-w535hd

I found the 535hd to be a great hu. Has a lot of settings but once you get used to where everything is, it's easy to see use. Ability to change the order of the tabs across the top would be nice. Have to tab all the way to the end to get to Bluetooth audio. Sound quality is great, as most alpine units are. Not the cheapest unit but for the options you get , it's a fair price.

Pros:alpine quality, plenty of settings to dial it In the way you like.

Sound Quality

Value

I have been an Alpine fan and installer for over 20+ years. Alpine has always been top quality with the most features and the best audio experience for my money. Not to mention just cool. I've had 10 Alpine decks, and three in my current cars (for now). This 535 is not up to my expectations. Unless Alpine can figure out these twitchy Apple IOS 7, iphone 5 issues I might go back to my 1999 flip-out D300 unit with component inputs. To be fair, most manufacturers are falling short on iphone 5 support, thanks to Apple I guess. I just hope Alpine doesn't abandon updating this software like they always do after 6 months from release or I might have to dump this unit after only 4 months owned. Seems a waste of money today. Would not buy this unit again, and might sell it soon.

Pros:Alpine is luxury and this unit shines with the clearest BT audio I've heard to date (not Pandora as advertised), nice touch screen response (even wearing gloves) and the fastest start up speed EVER. In the past, every backup cam I installed was useless because it took 10-15 seconds to see a picture on start up. This unit raises the bar completely with under 6 seconds on average from key turn. Nice job guys.

Cons:Guess we can blame parrot and Apple for the remedial iphone 5 compatibilities, zero IOS 7 support and 7 click phonebook calling. Quicker to dial the phone number guys, thanks anyways. And why no multi lane info on GPS, and 7 click search for POIs? I drive a trailer on weekends fellas, and need the heads up. Fail. But most bothersome is the smaller than usual unit size. It adds over an hour every time I install it just to fill the gaps, and forget the stock ISO mounts without mod. Big fail.

Quality and accessories make this radio work

I needed to get a back up camera installed in my 2007 GMC 2500HD truck, and I wanted to play my Apple Nano with no hassles. Well, this radio, in my honest opinion, is the best replacement for the stock radio in this truck. I reviewed Pioneer, sony and others and really concluded the quality and ease of use, in a truck environment (wearing work gloves, etc) was th best. I at first thought I would install the radio, with the backup camera and retain chimes cabling and retain the steering wheel controls, but elected in the end to have a local Alpine dealer in Westerly Rhode Island, do the installation. I am very happy I had Auto Audio do it for me. Professional and reasonable. Also had the remote start control and lumbar support added to the truck. Very very happy. The more I use this radio, the happier I am. In sync'd flawlessly to my iPhone 5S. the HD blue tooth works flawlessly, and the hookup to the apple iPod works perfectly. The Alpine is THE radio you want. It recognizes the blue tooth phone in a heart beat and is very good. The only thing I should do is get the upgraded speakers. That is probably the only drawback cause I know the radio has the capability of putting out great sound. the stock GMC speakers are not the greatest in the world...

Pros:excellent controls and gold features. good size screen. The quality of the backup camera is perfect

Cons:a little cumbersome to get into the finer details of speaker control (bass increase, treble changes, etc)

Alpine 535HD

Alpine is absolutely the best audio head unit on the market today (in my opinion), I installed this unit in my '07 Tahoe, and along with the correct harness (also from Crutchfield) it works beautifully with my factory Bose system and all my steering wheel controls still work as well, I installed this one myself but unless you know what you are doing I would have it done professionally....

Pros:One of the best head units out there, the built in iPod interface works perfectly

The fact of the matter is, this thing is terribly slow. Compared to a Pioneer or Kenwood, some of which are also slow, this is a turtle (and not the turtle that beats the hair). Touching a button on the screen generally results in an instant response but that response takes a while to occur. Additionally, getting to something useful (such as more advanced features) takes a few very slow clicks. In an iOS/Android world, this is unacceptably slow. It doesn't even process stearing wheel controls all that quickly - drop in a Pioneer in my car and steering wheel controls work swiftly (same SWC module); with this model, I have to hold buttons down in order for the volume to go up or down.

Is the sound quality good? I guess so - seems average to me. It works well enough with my iPhone and the Pandora functionality is good enough for government work (although there is no indication that you've successfully clicked on the up or down thumb and there are no "skip" buttons).

I wish I could go out and get a firmware update that actually updated the user interface to be more logically organized. The Audio button on the left of the HU should go to audio settings, not a basic menu where I can turn the subwoofer up/down and turn on/off the rear speakers. The sub level should be on the main screen. Some words in menus, oddly, are spelled as if we were in the UK; in other places, the US way of spelling.

The list goes on. This is not worth the high price due to user interface.

Pros:- iPod connectivity
- Pandora
- Durability
- Matte finish
- Amp pre-outs are on dongle wires vs. ports the back (good for tight spaces)
- Bluetooth seems to work well
- USB in the back
- Volume KNOB - there is no excuse to not have a volume knob; that's why I bought this one

Cons:- Base model-grade slowness; so annoyingly SLOW!
- Sound quality not evidently "better" than a Pioneer or Kenwood
- Amp preouts are on a
- Only a few color change options to match the dash
- Screen doesn't dim enough at night - looks like a beacon of light
- And, one more time, ultra slow!

Worth it!

I would never spend $700 on a radio. Ive purchased many in my time. But never this pricey. This one IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Luving the BT pandora for andriod. set up is a bit much with the two brake wires, and people complain about stepping on the brake and applying the parking brake to get to the menus- but its not a big deal at all.

Amazing Car Receiver

Another great product from Alpine. This head unit delivers everything I wanted in a great looking, easy functioning product. I have been buying Alpine for years and they keep bringing great products to market year after year. I installed this one myself, with some help form the tech support guys at Crutchfield. Thank you very much guys. I wanted a head unit that I could run Sirius/XM, an iPod, backup camera, and Bluetooth from. This Alpine 535HD does all this and more. I have watched a couple movies on it as well. Great picture and sound, easy to install, and it looks great while doing these things. I did not even look at the manual. The 535HD is so easy to use my 4 year old son can use it.

What an upgrade

Looks nice, like the screen. The Nannytronics make the install complex. But, the PAC PR4 VW11 didn't help much with a bad P-brake signal it sends out. The diagnostic screen telling when the brakes and reverse are engaged should not be disabled when it doesn't sense the brakes in the right order. Hard to tell what was wired wrong. But it sounds good (once I get the polks adjusted right), and the controls for the crossovers are nice, don't have to go into the truck to adjust the amps. The blue tooth works great. Love being able to answer and hang up with the steering wheel controls. The sat radio works good, wished I could have used the shark fin anntenea but wound up putting the supplied ant on the rear package shelf instead.

Pros:Great upgrade, flawless blue tooth system for both phone and iPod listening.

Cons:NANNYTRONICS galore! Pandora won't work with Iphone, only with android and blackberry via bluetooth. album art doesn't come up like advertised. What it seems like a long boot up time.

Alpine Love

I haven't purchased an aftermarket car stereo in about 30 years, my God how the world has changed! One thing that hasn't changed in the past three decades is the fact that Alpine makes some of the finest quality units you can put in a car. Be aware, there is a learning curve with this unit. It is by no means plug and play. You'll have to spend some time tweaking the built in EQ, and adjusting different sources (like Ipod, Sirius XM, CD, etc) to bring out the best. The unit also has a custom tuning app called I-Personalize that allows you to set the parameters of your car and its listening environment and it will deliver optimized EQ settings for you. It's a great place to start and you can tune it to your ears from there. This is by far the best sounding unit I've ever heard in a car, clean and bright without being harsh. As other reviewers have noted, functionality with Android devices is spotty, I found the Pandora bluetooth was nearly useless, however the integration with your phone for hands-free calling works flawlessly. Ipod integration is very well done, allowing you to operate the Ipod completely from the head unit, including all playlists and a great search function that is lightning quick. I invested in a 64GB Ipod touch because I like to use uncompressed music files such as FLAC or Apple Lossles - sounds better than some CDs.

This is my first after market head unit. So far I am loving it. It looks great in my civic. I was a little confused at first how to use it but I soon got the hang of it. I usually switch between my DROID using Bluetooth or my iPod off the USB connection. Only issue is accessing my phone contacts while not in park.

Lacks App Function for Iphone/ Ipod

This is a nice unit to use for features like a back-up camera, playing music through blue tooth or usb connection. The sound options are also good for more novice audio people looking for an easy to use AV deck. The downside to this unit is somewhat in the advertising. Many vendors advertise that this unit has functionality to display app output from iphones like netflix and navigation apps. This is not accurate. If you purchase the iphone connector cord, only information like tagging, album artwork, music and video files are able to stream (I have the iphone 4 and supposedly video function does not work with the iphone 5). If you want the deck for this purpose, which I kind of wanted, then you should stay away from it. I called Alpine support and they confirmed that this is not an operable function and that it may only be an option in the future through a software upgrade, which could realistically never happen. If you're looking for these features, I hear that the Pioneer Apps AV unit is great for this, although it cannot play dvd or cds. Would have given it a better review if the functionality and features were not misleading, which I purchased the unit based on. I did not purchase the unit through Crutchfield.

Pros:Easy to use, looks very nice installed.

Cons:No app function for iphones, supposedly with continued updates on ios, the unit loses more functionality. This was told to me by the vendor that I purchased the unit from. After the update to IoS 6, the features were limited.

Great Head Unit!

This is really a great head unit. It looks and sounds great. The ability to hook-up an iPhone cable directly to the USB cable that is provided from Alpine makes the integration with my primary source of music seemless. Some of the functionality takes a bit of getting used to. Some of the instructions were out of date and incorrect, but I'd buy this same unit again if I were upgrading my other car. It's the best head unit I've ever owned

Awesome!

This is a very nice Head Unit. I installed this in my 2005 Pontiac G6 and it looks great. The HD radio is pretty cool. I especially like the HD stations that allow 2 or 3 different stations under one frequency. I now have more stations that I would listen to than there are presets available. The iPod control in the HU is a nice feature. And Pandora...the reason I went with this unit in the first place...it works with Android and my Droid RAZR. I can control Pandora from the HU and not worry about taking the phone out of my pocket. As long as you have data service, you have streaming music. You can stream music over Bluetooth from apps like Slacker and Spotify, or from music stored on your phone.

I've had this unit installed for a few weeks now and the only complaint I have is that there still isn't a lot of support for Android phones, but that's for all HU's, not just this one. My brother connected his iPhone and was able to control his Spotify account from the HU. Android can stream it over Bluetooth, but there is no song data on the screen and definitely no controls on the HU for anything other than phone calls and Pandora for us Android users.

Pros:Sounds great, looks good, Pandora and Android

Cons:Very little Android app support, but that's true of all HU's as of November 2012. No custom photo option for your background, only the pre-loaded colored background that you choose. White only buttons (not a big deal, but everything in my car is red, except these buttons).

Good Alpine Radio

Written By Dave, Colorado Springs on Sunday, November 18, 2012

I bought this unit to replace a Camry stock radio. I wanted great BlueTooth, sound, equalizer, SiriusXM, and HD radio. I think the price is a bit high, but the quality of the radio and features is very good. I use an iPhone 4s with the radio. The menus are ok; there is a learning curve. I got most of my advice on adjusting the parametric equalizer from the web (not Alpine). I like the ability to set up two different users of the BlueTooth system and favorites. The sound adjustment options are probably the strongest feature of this radio. I would buy this unit again, although the price will likely drop substantially for a similar unit in 2013.

Pros:Great sound and parametric equalizer built in. Ability to set up two different users based upon bluetooth phone registrations--Unique from what I have seen.

Cons:Alpine does not have online forums or help. Kenwood is definitely stronger in that department (I also own a KW DNX6990HD).

Great Non-GPS Head Unit

Due to be stationed overseas, I chose to go with a non-GPS head unit for my FJ Cruiser (and to just buy a free standing, country specific GPS unit.) After 2 weeks of use after the pro install, my Alpine IVE-W535HD is proving to be a great choice. It looks awesome in my dash and sounds great with the OEM speakers. This head unit costs as much as some GPS head units but I'd say that the build quality and technical specs make it worth the price tag. My small complaint is that it does not have front access USB input and sometimes it seems a little slow at being able to change folders from a USB drive.. The Bluetooth seems to work great and it was super easy to sync with my iPhone 4S. There is a firmware update for iPhone 5 which I may need to install if I upgrade my phone. The included mic (and where my installed put it) produces as good or better call quality as my factory Bluetooth in my Volvo XC60.

Great unit!

I purchased this unit after buying the INE-Z928HD for my other vehicle. I needed something to replace a Kenwood DNX9960 in my RX7. I didn't need Navigation this time so that was not a concern for me. Like I said in my review of the INE-Z928HD I have always been a Kenwood guy. NO LONGER! Alpine has come a long way this new unit it is spectacular. Great sound, great UI,, great performance.. Everything is the same as the INE-Z928HD only without navigation. Alpine has me back as a customer!! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A KENWOOD UNIT EVER AGAIN!!! As usual Crutchfield was a pleasure doing business with. Between the sales people to tech support I always have a great experience A++++++
